KICKSTART YOUR WEIGHT LOSS WITH GRAPEFRUIT

WEIGHT LOSS BEGINS AT BREAKFAST


With so much information out there for weight loss – do this – do that – don’t do THAT – what is a person to do?
I’m a big fan of the K.I.S.S. Principle – “Keep It Simple, Sweetheart”
So here’s a simple tea to begin and end your day with. No frills – just simple power.

WARM GRAPEFRUIT TEA

(endorsed by Martha Stewart)

2 c ruby red grapefruit juice (squeezed from 2 grapefruits)
2-4 T Honey
1 Cinnamon Stick
½ tsp whole allspice berries

In a medium pot, combine all ingredients with ½ cup of water. Bring to boil over high heat, strain, and discard solids. Serve with grapefruit segment or strip of zest.

Elegant, simple, but effective. Ingredients like grapefruit, wild salmon, almonds, avocados, and kiwi can trigger your body to process food more effectively – making your insulin more effective and leveled out.

Try it – you just might like it. Relax, sip a bit, enjoy…

DID YOU KNOW...


NEW USES FOR MOUTHWASH

Troubled by dandruff? Don’t let that get you down. Next time you shampoo, simply follow it with a nice alcohol-based mouthwash rinse. Repeat this until you find flakes no more.

(Well, yeah… they probably just fall off in an alcoholic-minty fog! Gives a whole new meaning to a “fresh” new “do”.)

Need a Good Face Cleaner? Only use a mouthwash that does not contain sugar to wash your face with. (Good luck finding that one!) Wash your face first with your typical face cleanser. Then apply some mouthwash to a cotton ball and wipe it on your face. Like any face astringent, you should feel a pleasant sensation. (I’ll BET!) When you are done, rinse, and your face will look fresh and clean!
(Wonder if it would work as well for an after-shave for men? Oh, Boy! And you thought the other stuff stings!)
